pie, has been appointed an umpire in the
National league.
Charles Daniels, of the by-gone Hartfords,
| umpired his first game this season in the

johnson, formerly of the Hartfords, has
hurt his hand SO badly that he cannot play
his usually strong game. He is the best right

lost more games to these three clubs than

won majority of the games The Philadel-
phia club is playing great game at present,
but do not think it is capable of sustaining
the gait"

the pitcher at will and fatted their average
very materially. Gruber pitched in good
form for the Detroits and was supported in
approved style. The field exhibition of the
